Well if you want to read what Higby said on looting or "trophy-displaying" as the lingo puts it on the most recent reddit then go to this link and find it:

Specifically on looting weapons Higby responds with, "we'll definitely have ways for you to gloat your victories" which on its own has no relation to looting but it was in response to this question:
"Trophies. I loved collecting enemy weapons and just hoarding them in my locker. With the inventory system will this be possible or will there be a replacement that allows us to gloat our victories?"
